Eating out at a restaurant should be an experience, especially if it’s for a special occasion. A good restaurant serves tasty food, but it’s even better if your surroundings are as exciting as the dishes. There are plenty of places in Amsterdam that are Instagrammable, but not all of them could be called beautiful restaurants. However, the places on this list are truly stunning.

4. Lolo’s
Lolo’s is also an Italian restaurant (isn’t Italian food always a good idea?) and it’s quite spectacular. The atmostphere is the liveliest you’ll see in the whole city.

You’ll find Restaurant Rouhi on the first floor of The House Of Rituals. It’s one of those places that’s instantly calming, with laid back, yet intricate decor. In summer you can enjoy the gorgeous terrace, too.

9. Cantine De Caron
Not everyone likes copper pans as much as me, and I accept that, but they’re not the only reason behind why I think Cantine De Caron is so pretty. It’s a former gas factory and that doesn’t sound too pretty either but the high ceilings make it pretty spectacular. Plus, the terrace is large, open and airy too.
📍Pazzanistraat 8, 1014 DB
10. Lion Noir
The rich, green tones at Lion Noir bring a fantastic, kind of sci-fi quality to it. There’s something otherworldly and yet cosy about the deco that makes you want to stay. DEfinitely one of the most beautiful restaurants in town!
